RE: Correct Usage Of A Question Mark
Hi folks,
I would like to check, please, if I am using a question mark correctly - or incorrectly as the case may be. The scenario relates to when one is, you might say, thinking aloud.
For example:
I am specifically referring to the question mark at the very end of the second sentence.
I tend to write this form very often. To my mind it is not a rhetorical question, nor am I requesting the audience to respond. As mentioned above, I feel, rather, that it is an expression of the writer (inwardly) asking her/himself a question.
Many thanks in advance for any kind assistance offered here.
Best,

"I am assuming that I was not invited to the party because of the rude remark I had made towards David. In all honesty, I am not even sure why the hell I made that obscene comment in the first place?"
